Makhan Singh (1 July 1937 – 21 January 2002)[1] was an Indian track and field athlete during the 1960s.

His primary claim to fame came was his victory over Milkha Singh in the 1964 National Games of India in Calcutta.

He then hit the high spots with the National Games in Delhi the following year when he won a gold in the short sprint and a silver in the 300 metres.

He took part in all the Games from 1959 to 1964 and won a total of 12 golds, three silvers and one bronze, the last one in Calcutta where he signed off being his most outing.

He was diabetic and in 1990 his foot was injured by a piece of glass so doctors suggested cutting off his leg.
